Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome to Better Help! You’ve taken a huge step, and I’m sure you’re wondering how this works and whether it’s the right fit for you.
My name is Vickie McDaniel, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Oklahoma. I am also a Licensed Independent Social Worker for the state of South Carolina. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2011. I’ve worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, eating disorders, relationships/parenting and the grief and loss of people or of their pet. As a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by increasing our self-awareness, self-esteem, positive thinking, and problem solving techniques. Sometimes another person, one who isn’t in our immediate circle, can offer a perspective or additional support, that gives us movement on a difficult situation when we feel stuck. It would be my privilege to be that person for you. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it’s very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. Our relationship with our self and others has worth and is useful to explore in counseling.
You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat and phone sessions with limited availability in the evenings and weekends. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check with me through messaging first.
I look forward to working with you!

Victoria McDaniel-Tracy is a licensed social worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma, earned in 2011, and 13 years of clinical experience. She is licensed to practice as a Clinical Social Worker in Texas and as an Independent Social Worker for clinical practice in South Carolina, and she is based in Oklahoma.
Her clinical work has included supporting individuals and families facing depression, anxiety and stress, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, grief and loss, relationship and parenting challenges, and other life transitions. Victoria emphasizes the importance of a comfortable, trusting connection between therapist and client, and she believes growth often comes from increasing self-awareness, building self-esteem, cultivating more positive thinking, and developing practical problem-solving skills.
Victoria offers ongoing support through messaging and schedules live chat and phone sessions with limited evening and weekend availability. She typically checks messages twice each day, seven days per week. Because calendar availability may not always show every option, she encourages prospective clients to send a message first to explore scheduling and fit.
Victoria approaches each person’s story with openness and without judgment, valuing the worth of relationships with self and others and inviting exploration of those dynamics in therapy. She aims to provide perspective and support that help clients move forward when they feel stuck, and she considers it a privilege to assist people through difficult experiences.
For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical experience show that remote therapy often delivers meaningful benefit for those issues, making it a viable option for many people.
One major advantage of online care is flexibility. Clients can meet with licensed professionals in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which helps therapy fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
Licensed therapists provide care through these formats, and clients have the option to change therapists if they seek a different fit. For people weighing the choice, online therapy offers a practical and accessible way to pursue mental health support while maintaining professional standards of care.
